Assessing China's Power

the long version

"The topic of China's rise and what it really means for the global and regional order is the subject of intense debate in scholarly discourse and media around the world. While some are confident that China will rise to the level of an equally powerful competitor to the United States, others are more cautious. This volume engages with this ongoing debate through empirical, sector-based, and systematic assessments of China's power.
